THE PRICE TAG
MARKET VALUE / ANNUAL PROFIT
12.5×

The market pays 12.5× for every dollar of annual profit — cheap, which is either an opportunity or a warning.

Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 85% of them.

Analysts' average target sits 2% below today's price.

INSIDE THE REPORT CARD

We compared this company with its own sector across five subjects.

A score of 50 means class average.

BUSINESS QUALITY
79
strong

Clearly above the class average — a step short of the very top.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH
30
very weak

For a bank, strength is measured by capital buffers and reserves — not cash minus debt.

VALUATION
85
very strong

The price looks reasonable next to what the company earns.

GROWTH
88
very strong

Sales are growing strongly for its sector.

PRICE MOMENTUM
84
very strong

The stock has been running stronger than the market lately.

WORTH WATCHING

Financial Strength: The capital buffer looks thin next to its class; less room to absorb a rough stretch.

THE FIVE-YEAR JOURNEY
Bumpy, but the direction is up.

The stock trades near its peak today. For long-term holders the ride has paid off so far — though past performance guarantees nothing about the future.

1
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 1/3
A fat but narrowing margin

The net profit margin is 23% — still a thick cushion, though costs have been eating into it lately.

2
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 2/3
Sales keep climbing

Over the last 4 years, sales grew about 37% a year on average.

3
THE BRIGHT SIDE · 3/3
Pays a steady dividend

It pays out $1.60 per share each year — regular cash for whoever holds the stock.

1
THE RISKS · 1/2
A thin financial cushion

The balance sheet offers little cushion against a rough stretch. Report-card grade: 30/100.

2
THE RISKS · 2/2
Little set aside for the future

The share set aside for the future is small; the pace of new ideas may slow.

FINALE · THE GRADE
grade pending

We don’t have a report card for this stock yet — the data isn’t mature enough to grade. No grade is information too: it means the evidence is thin.

One-line summary: few numbers, an untested story. Keep watching.
